Lets discuss about the most commonly used salt in making molds that is sodium silicate it is an alternative name for the salt sodium metasilicate also known as water glass.It is available in solution form and is solid used in cements,automobiles.This compound is made from sodium carbonate and silicon dioxide.It can be used as a bonding agent as well as in coating on surfaces.When applied to the surfaces of the mold it forms a thin layer that is tough and tight bond or film.The bond formed by applying the sodium silicate is low in cost,resistant to fire,resistant to moisture and water;also it can be treated to temperatures at very high temperatures.The main feature of the film is that it is non toxic and doesn't have any foul smell.
The solid films formed after applying sodium silicate are formed after evaporation.When water evaporates the sodium silicate forms a more viscous coating on the surface.Titanium dioxide or aluminum is used to make a opaque coating.Clay modeling can be used to make the coating semi-opaque.Sodium silicate is inorganic and is non explosive plus it does not have any hazards.The span of its life is about one year so it is recommended that it should be used in the above mentioned period.The components from which they are made are purely sand and not harmful to the humans or any other type of thing in the environment.
The machines used for casting and molding of the various objects contain a nameplate that contains the safety information.If you don't find the nameplate on the machine then please do contact us that is EnvironMolds at this phone number(866)278-6653.The machines such as the ArtMolds vacuum chamber should not be left alone when operating.You should monitor its use after starting the your vacuum pump so that there doesn't generate any adverse circumstances.
